A marine outboard motor (2) is provided with a gear casing (40), a propeller shaft (29) rotatable within the gear casing about a propeller shaft axis (34), a drive shaft (27) having a drive gear (35), a clutch mechanism (50) for selectively engaging the drive gear with the propeller shaft and a shift mechanism (60) configured to operate the clutch mechanism. The shift mechanism comprises a support shaft (70) which is fixed relative to the gear casing and which extends along or parallel with the propeller shaft axis, a shift shuttle (80) which is slidable along the support shaft and is connected to a clutch member (53) of the clutch mechanism, a shift finger (90) pivotally mounted on the support shaft, and a shift rod (61) coupled to the shift finger by a releasable coupling. The shift finger is configured to move the shift shuttle along the support shaft to operate the clutch member when the shift finger is rotated about the shift rod axis by the shift rod. A marine vessel including such a marine outboard motor is also provided.
